For school officials, evacuations without notifying parents, arranging transportation, etc, would be tough to carry out. Honestly, I would kind of imagine the "our country is getting bombed plan" to be closer to shelter-in-place and hope the building/status protects us rather than walk away from the military base. What happens if they leave the building and are hit by shrapnel? Possibly, this will be a Columbine or 9-11 moment for schools next to bases that causes them to completely re-think how to respond to airstrikes.

This was mostly just sloppy intel from the US and a failure of the AI target selection. Possibly, Iran should have evacuated civilians away from all bases as the US forces were mounting in advance of the strikes; I am open to the critique that the school should not have been open at all. But the scale and scope of the strikes was pretty surprising. Also keep in mind the extent to which schools function as childcare.

An hour actually seems like not long at all.

Some peace deal if this is what happens a few years later.

This one is a "feature" that aows you to undo misclicks. I really just wish there was an Undo button for misclicks in the base game.

A leftist government does not make a country unaligned with a country or not. An authoritarian regime might, but Argentinian voters just made bad choices on electing irresponsible leftist populists for many years (I am not very educated on if the alternatives were much better). Argentina was still closely allied with the US throughout, a marked contrast with authoritarian leftists elsewhere.

I don't know how countries like Argentina could possibly not have already been considered quite allied with the US. Milei himself was certainly already allied with Trump.

More importantly, I am somewhat concerned about counting chickens early on making Iran an Israeli/Western ally. Why are we so certain that air superiority will mean regime change ibstead of a bunch of terrorism?

I would add some Latin American countries to your list of non-ethnostates, Brazil being a very obvious and notable example.

I don't know what a dative case is, but I would say that most people don't even have a decent grasp of objects in sentences or infinitives (especially English speakers for the latter).

Imo, most people's grasp of grammar and structure in their native language is not great. One advantage of the grammatical approach is that it forces people to finally confront the structure of language in general and thus also their own.
